wbt_slope {whitebox}

Slope

Description

Calculates a slope raster from an input DEM.

Usage

wbt_slope(
  dem,
  output,
  zfactor = NULL,
  units = "degrees",
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

dem

Input raster DEM file.

output

Output raster file.

zfactor

Optional multiplier for when the vertical and horizontal units are not the same.

units

Units of output raster; options include 'degrees', 'radians', 'percent'.

wd

Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() for details.

verbose_mode

Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is FALSE, tools will not print output messages. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_verbose() for details.

compress_rasters

Sets the flag used by 'WhiteboxTools' to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_compress_rasters() for details.

command_only

Return command that would be executed by system() rather than running tool. Default: FALSE.

Value

Returns the tool text outputs.
